T1r's get slippery when overheated. Same happened to my rears on a very aggressive run.

 

Since when do tires get slippery when heated? Last time I checked they got stickier.

 

When tires OVERheat, they grease up and become slippery.

 

Are you serious? You're going to manipulate alignment or buy canards to cure a problem you're having because you're running different brand front vs rear tires? Match your tires before altering alignment. For the price of CF canards you could most certainly buy front tires.

 

driving hard enough to overheat your tires on Public Roads is a bad idea.

you need to take it to the track.

 

ap2 rear rims won't fit the front due to the offset of the rear but you can probably work something out and fix the suspension to make it fit. just my opnion.

 

Guys run the rears on the front all the time. Just machine the wheel a little for hub clearance.

 

yep. i'm sure everyone sounds a little harsh in here, but you are making a very bad decision pushing the car to the limits on mixed tire brands on a public, dangerous canyon road.

 

Look, no offense to the OP but questions like these make us sound like a bunch of dumb rice boys. What are you going to do after you get alignment and the cool looking CF canards to fix your problem. Then, your front tires wear out, you match your tires, and then you have problems with oversteer because you screwed with the alignment on non-matched tires front to rear. Now, you've gotta go back and get another alignment.

I am not trying to be harsh. I am being sincere. And if you think I'm harsh, go post this question in the racing forum. They will make you want to sell your car.

Running a non-staggered setup is a proven method to manipulate the handling of S. Lots of racing guys are doing it, typically with an adjustable front sway bar (many Auto X'rs are running no rear sway bar at all). Again, you can inquire about this in the racing forum...or just start searching that forum. Good luck.

 

Already mentioned/implied, worth repeating:
The effects of canards and different tire widths on handling balance are going to be MINOR compared to running two different makes/models of tire front and rear.

And it's "make do", not "make due".

That is all...
